You have seen the DCT taken apart, what it looks like inside, worn clutch discs, and brand new higher capacity clutch discs made. The new discs handle 600+ and 700+ whp respectively. With my power goals, SSP has decided to build a clutch pack that is beyond anything developed at this time for the DCT. What is the power goal? Well, it is beyond what is currently available and SSP is currently developing a clutch disc pack capable of over 800 wheel horsepower.

How is this being done?

The current clutch discs are of a thicker material than the stock discs. However, the stock clutch pack has 9 discs in it. By increasing the number of clutch discs they are going to increase the maximum torque capacity. By going to a thicker material and increasing the total number of discs to 11, the DCT in the BMW M3 will be taken to a level no one previously thought was possible. This is going to be similar to the GTR 1000 hp clutch setup by SSP (pictured) but the GTR uses more clutch discs albeit smaller, thinner discs.

What else is being done and how much time will it take?

The DCT is going to receive a cooling system based on what SSP has done with the GTR's. This will be a DCT specific application and will be great for the guys who track. No more overheats, no more staying away from the track on hot days. Look for a separate build thread specifically for the cooling system in the next few weeks. Regarding the time period, expect completion next month with the car returning fully assembled and capable of handling the increased power.

Funny, Gintani has not posted $#@! on Instgram in days..Maybe next week?

Then we have the Easter weekend excuse, then you will have the engine break in excuse to fall back on, then is there a full moon next week we have to worry about too Sticky? Any shortages of race fuel? Barometric pressure might be a concern as well..........

Seriously chill the hell out. Talked to them today, I'll be there. Just try not to change any more bets.

I have not changed any bets you dense $#@!! Your dumb ass said you can hang with the CLK, You acted as if the C was beneath you and said the CLK would be more closely matched initially, thendiscussion of the C came up later. You $#@!ing parts heap is notmeven runing, let me know when the thing idels and can pull redline in every gear...until then it is a $#@!ing parts heap!

I hope you can hang with 1100whp becuase that is what it is going to take! In the oast three year very real progress has been made by Weistec on the CLKs, world records and some serious beat downs at a half mile event, meanwhile in those same three years we have seen three photos of your car out of Gintani.
